Metas

Okay,

When I downloaded Deox's Forest Mod, I noticed that it was bigger than the original map file. It looked like he added new metas. Am I right here in that you can code a new meta and add it to the map, if you designate it, and give it a name and such? Like a location and a model and things like that?

I wanted to add a new projectile meta, because I liked the idea of the UT2004 Rocket Launcher, and wanted to try to make it. If anybody can give me any guidance on this, it would be really helpful, not to mention really nice :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

lol, not as simple as that.

Well, you can put it in, but then you have to rewrite a lot of the file.

Are there any programs that can do that for you?

To rewrite the map file? Not the demo, I think there might be one for full but thats full.

So HMT or HHK can't do it?

It also sucks that the first 800 hex bytes in the map file can't be altered so that these programs could read them as if they were normal Halo full map files...
